Yes, Nebraska is 14-10 overall, 6-6 in the Big Ten, and I realize that doesn't sound like much. But the Huskers have three top-50 RPI wins, and just three losses outside of the top 50, which means they have as many top-50 wins as Ohio State, Virginia, Louisville, Memphis and Connecticut (and one more than Kentucky), and fewer losses outside of the top 50 than North Carolina, Kansas State, Georgetown, Missouri, Xavier and Minnesota.
Seven of Nebraska's 10 losses are to sure-bet NCAA tournament teams.
An eighth came before Thanksgiving.
The other two came on the road in league play.
So, when I frame things like that, how far, really, is Nebraska from the bubble?
Again, the Huskers have just as many top-50 wins as Ohio State, Virginia, Louisville, Memphis and Connecticut (and one more than Kentucky), and they have fewer losses outside of the top 50 than North Carolina, Kansas State, Georgetown, Missouri, Xavier and Minnesota. Each of the schools listed in the previous sentence is either in Jerry Palm's latest projected bracket or featured in Tuesday's Bubble Watch here at CBSSports.com.
So Nebraska can't be far off, can it?
"Look at the details," Miles said. "All the bubble teams would be 14-10 with our schedule."
